Beschreibung | Clinton Eastwood Jr. (geboren am 31. Mai 1930) ist ein amerikanischer Schauspieler und Filmemacher. Nach seinem Erfolg in der Western-Fernsehserie Rawhide erlangte er Mitte der 1960er Jahre mit seiner Rolle als "Mann ohne Namen" in Sergio Leones "Dollars-Trilogie" von Spaghetti-Western und als Antihelden-Cop Harry Callahan in den fünf Dirty-Harry-Filmen der 1970er und 1980er Jahre internationalen Ruhm. Diese und andere Rollen haben Eastwood zu einer dauerhaften kulturellen Ikone der Männlichkeit gemacht. Der 1986 gewählte Eastwood war zwei Jahre lang Bürgermeister von Carmel-by-the-Sea, Kalifornien. |

They say marriages are made in Heaven. But so is thunder and lightning.
People love westerns worldwide. There's something fantasy-like about an individual fighting the elements. Or even bad guys and the elements. It's a simpler time. There's no organized laws and stuff.

You know when you're young and you see a play in high school, and the guys all have gray in their hair and they're trying to be old men and they have no idea what that's like? It's just that stupid the other way around.
If a person doesn't change, there's something really wrong with him.
I'm not really conservative. I'm conservative on certain things. I believe in less government. I believe in fiscal responsibility and all those things that maybe Republicans used to believe in but don't any more.
Whether you like it or not, you're forced to come to the realisation that death is out there. But I don't fear death, I'm a fatalist. I believe when it's your time, that's it. It's the hand you're dealt.
This film cost $31 million. With that kind of money I could have invaded some country.
If I'd had good discipline, I might have gone into music.
Men must know their limitations.
I mean, I've always been a libertarian. Leave everybody alone. Let everybody else do what they want. Just stay out of everybody else's hair.
I just think it is important that you realize , that you're the best in the world. Whether you are a Democrat or Republican or whether you're libertarian or whatever, you are the best. And we should not ever forget that. And when somebody does not do the job, we got to let them go.
I had three points I wanted to make: That not everybody in Hollywood is on the left, that Obama has broken a lot of the promises he made when he took office, and that the people should feel free to get rid of any politician who's not doing a good job. But I didn't make up my mind exactly what I was going to say until I said it.
The prospect of dating someone in her twenties becomes less appealing as you get older. At some point in your fife, your tolerance level goes down and you realize that, with someone much younger, there's nothing really to talk about.
